The Barrow Journal won four state-wide awards for excellence in advertising from the Georgia Press Association’s newspaper advertising contest last week.

The Journal won first place for “Best Food Ad” for its McDonald’s series, second place for “Best Health Ad” for the Allergy and Asthma Care Center and swept the “Best Newspaper Promotion” category by winning both first and second place.

“We are thrilled to be recognized for our efforts on behalf of our customers,” said Susan Treadwell, advertising manager for the Journal. “Our philosophy is to help our advertisers generate business, not just to sell them an ad."

“To be honored by our peers against state-wide competition like this in only our second year of existence is very humbling and satisfying,” Treadwell continued. “It makes us want to redouble our effort to help more of our customers through the recession by continuing to offer the most effective advertising in Barrow County at a reasonable cost.”

In addition, the Journal’s sister publication, The Braselton News, also won two first place awards. The News captured first place for the Best Advertising Campaign for the “Allergy and Asthma Care Center” and first place for Best Service Ad for the “Platinum Salon.”

The accolades were presented at the Georgia Press Association’s annual advertising conference, held at the University of Georgia in Athens last week.

Congratulations to all at the Barrow Journal. Very proud that you all are in Winder!
